Shen Jui-chang (沈瑞章), who returned home last year after being held captive by
Somali pirates for 1,672 days, has expressed his gratitude to those who helped him get back to Taiwan safely.
Despite being home and with Lunar New Year just around the corner, Shen said it was a somewhat difficult time for him, as he was still recovering from his harrowing kidnapping kidnapping.
Shen was speaking in Keelung at a press conference to promote “Taiwan Long Time No See,”(台灣好久不見), a short film about his experience. It is directed by Jay Tsai (蔡文傑), who received a 2016 Golden Bell Award nomination for it.
Shen has gained 10 kilograms since returning to Taiwan two months ago and now considers himself to be in good shape, saying he feels immense gratitude to the many kindhearted people who facilitated his return. [FULL STORY]
